1st Thursday Christmas Maritime Networking, December 2025.
Hosted by Propeller Club Liverpool & North West, at Baby E Coffee & Deli, Dale Street Liverpool, and kindly sponsored by FORT Recruitment.
That was quick? December networking, a turbot whizzing the proceeding year away at breakneck speed.
December Maritime Networking, an early port of call for many events and activities during the festive season for our members. With Fort Recruitment sponsoring this months event. We were warmed by Co-owner Ian Buckley's passionate speech centering on the togetherness of the club, and how as seperate businesses and organisations, we are all one, together, inspiring stuff.
The night was filled with the usual, seasonal atmosphere you would expect in December as the year draws to an end.
The Propeller Club Liverpool & North West were the proud winners of the Business Enablers Award at the prestigious Mersey Maritime Business Awards at The Anglican Cathedral in November, and very well deserved too, Anneley, who recieved the award on behalf of the club brought the trophy along for the members to have their pictures taken with it, these pictures are included in the album.
It was a great day for myself personally, I got to meet world reknown documentary photographer Craig Easton after he delivered a seminar to the second and third year photography students at university, after a chat with him a purchased his book, "Fisherwomen," for which he posted to me yesterday, then, as if it could not get better, Propellerist, Dr Emma Roberts, gifted me with a book authored by herself and Edward Morris based on public sculptures around Cheshire and Merseyside, A topic that forms the bulk of my final year at University, So, many thanks again, Emma, this book will really expand on my ideas for this project going forward.
It's a long one, so much to cover. It's been another fantastic year for Maritime networking with so many success stories and I hope that continues for you all in 2026. On a personal note, and again, I cannot thank you all enough for raising the money for me to visit New York with my fellow creatives from the University of Chester, in February last. It still feels surreal and it provided me with an experience and memories to last a lifetime. I have to go back, so, if you would visit my Go-Fun............ Just kidding 😜 I will do this.
Have a great Christmas and A prosperous New Year, Y'all.
See you in February, if not on the glorious 19th.
